Not having Hammond in midfield has had a surprising effect on Cork not being as effective and as a result, Connolly and Lambert are not seeing enough of the ball.
The other component needs to be in place as well as the finances - exposure in the Prem league and even Champions league. Not too long to wait hopefully.
Agree with this - I think Hammond has proven his ability to deal with the type of team Cardiff will prove to be. However, I feel sure he will understand that with three games in quick succesion someone needs to be kept fresh at CM. I would suspect all four CM players will be very close to earning a place in the team.
Can't understand the switch of Hammond for Morgan. Not heard Lambert or Connolly's name as a part of any kind of attack for...well, all 2nd half I think.
Mmm, not the most inspiring of draws, but there's every chance of getting through to face Prem oppo in the quarters. And if we go out now, so what - it'll keep the focus on the league campaign.
